Default Tires

Well I go through this all the time when I go to buy tires but I'm tired of buying tires every year and a half. I know that we have performance cars (to a degree) but I want to try and get something at a decent price that lasts more than 10k miles.
I have ran sumitomo all seasons and falken fk452's
I liked the falken's but I didn't get to rotate them so never got the full potential out of the treadwear.
Right now im looking at BFG g-force super sport A/S
BFG g-force sports
and yokohama s.drives

let me know if you have any suggestions or comments

also if you have some deep dish black bullitts let me know i might want to buy a set

BFG and Nitto offer great tires.
The NT05's are suppose to be awesome.
Here is a review of the NT05's

BFG Sports or KDW. How are you eating up that many tires just street driving?

i dont know. This last set I only got to rotate them once out of like 14 months becuase I had a locking lug stuck on my rear so being able to properly rotate would have helped out but I can't really afford tires every year and a half.
I really like the BFG sports, a guy i know just got a set on his cobra and they are nice but should i go with the all seasons just for the extra tread wear?

I'v use a BFG KDW for quite a while. I'v had to replace the rears - because long smoky burn outs and donuts are fun. But the fronts wear really well, after 15K miles they really look good.

For just normal street driving, the BFG Sports will be good. Tires geared towards racing (Nittos etc...) will be worn down very quickly on the street and will waste your money.

Sumitomo HTRz II's or III's, they last forever, but don't hook for ****. Toyo T1R's, pricey, but stick to anything, and I got 40k miles out of a set. Both tires handle pretty good in the rain, but the Toyo T1R's are the best all around tire I've ever run.
